One Bush supporter sets up camp "a few miles away" from Cindy Sheehan

A few miles away in a field beside the main road leading to Bush's ranch, a Bush supporter set up camp Thursday with a tent and signs saying "A Noble Cause" showing pictures of smiling Iraqi children.

The war protesters' camp this week is at the same 1-acre private lot that a landowner let them use in August when Sheehan's original campsite became too crowded. The grassy lot is about a mile from Bush's ranch.

Before Sheehan's arrival, more than 100 protesters at the camp ate a traditional Iraqi meal for Thanksgiving - salmon, lentils, rice with almonds and a salad of parsley, tomatoes, cucumbers and bulgur wheat. They said they wanted to call attention to the innocent Iraqi victims in addition to the more than 2,100 U.S. soldiers killed since the war began in March 2003.

"It's significant because the people of Iraq are suffering under our occupation, and for people in America it's business as usual stuffing themselves on fat turkeys," said Tammara Rosenleaf, whose husband is an Army soldier to be deployed in a few weeks.

1. So will the bush supporter be arrested?

Where is he parked?

2. That was my first thought...

...if he's in a field, and it's private property, who knows.

Personally, I'd arrest him strictly on principle.

4. Aren't Democrats against arresting people strictly on principle? NT

6. That's why you got the devil smiley in my post...

...that's the tip-off that I'm kidding.

:evilgrin:

7. Good. Just wanted to make sure. NT

5. But I thought parking along that road is now illegal

Fair is fair.

9. Fans of the war chimp

should be given unpeeled banana enemas and sent on their way to contemplate their wrongs about their aggrandizement of criminals and con men.

3. Tammara's comments annoyed me. I had turkey yesterday but

I also got to spend time with family which is something I don't get much chance to do because of busy scedules.

8. How ironic that the pro-Bush

"Noble Cause" person chose to illustrate the phrase with pictures of "smiling Iraqi children" - more than likely pictures taken before we invaded and occupied their country. When I think of Iraqi children, I think of little Ali who had his arms blown off during "shock and awe." I think of many thousands of Iraqis similarly disfigured or wounded or killed. Orphans. Widows. Homes and lives destroyed. I would be willing to bet that kool-aid drinker near the chimp's pig farm has no idea of the human suffering and misery we've unleashed.
